Biography :
Archibald Alexander Leach (January 18, 1904 – November 29, 1986), better known by his screen name, Cary Grant, was an English film actor.rchie Leach was born in Horfield, Bristol, England. An only child (before he was born his parents had had another son who died in infancy), Leach had a confused and unhappy childhood. His mother, Elsie, was placed in a mental institution when he was nine. His father told him that she was dead, and he only learned in 1935 that she was still alive, in an institution. With his distinctive Mid-Atlantic accent, he was perhaps the foremost exemplar of the debonair leading man, not only handsome, but also witty and charming. He was named the second Greatest Male Star of All Time by the American Film Institute.

Trivia :

(America’s oldest and largest outdoor theater), in such shows as Donald Marshall in Irene (1931); Baron Metternich in Music in May (1931); Don Fernando in Nina Rosa (1931); Roberto Ferguson in Rio Rita (1931); George in Street Singer (1931); Athos in Three Musketeers (1931); Max Grunewald in Wonderful Night (1931);
* In the film A Fish Called Wanda, the character played by John Cleese is named Archibald Leach, Cary Grant’s real name [2]. Cleese was born in Weston-super-Mare, just a few kilometres from Grant’s birthplace, Bristol.
* Although many Cary Grant impressions include the quotation, “Judy, Judy, Judy”, Grant never actually said that phrase in any of his movies. In Only Angels Have Wings, his character says “Oh, Judy,” and “Come on, Judy,” but that’s as close as it gets. [wikipedia]
